Well, only two more weeks till the 2011 archery elk season opens up. I've been through most of my DVD's. Now its daily torture watching rutting bulls on youtube along with knowing I have friends out antelope hunting. Am I the only guy who feels the need to subject himself to painful torture just for the increased anticipation of the crisp mornings and bugling bulls? I can hardly wait and wonder if my family and friends are ready for me to go elk crazy.

I can't wait for elk season to start too, although I have to wait till October for rifle season! But I am totally pumped because I drew a coveted NM Gila bull tag and hopefully God will bless me with a great bull! I watch my hunting movies before I go hunting because it helps me visualize how my hunt could play out and what to do when I get a shot at an animal of a lifetime.

dhershberger,

I can't wait to see your field photos of you and your monster Gila bull! Hopefully in an issue of the EHJ.

lol I'm proud to say I am one of the friends who are out antelope hunting. :) I have been doing the same.. watching elk hunting movies and buying stuff to get ready for elk hunting. It's really making it painful to have to wait two more weeks, but at least I have my antelope hunting to dull the pain. ;)

I've got three days left till I can chase the mighty Wapiti, and I have not slept good in a week. Finally went through my stuff last night to get ready. Come on Saturday!
